On: Why so many things cost exactly zero

[narag]

Or just the friction of "do I really want to pay $0.05 for this?"

LOL, that's so obvious in retrospect: if something costs so little, it's because you probably don't need it. Minor annoyances, even the mere decision, and you won't bother.

The economy would collapse if people only bought what they needed

[ben0x539 → lonelappde]

Probably only the parts of the economy that we don't need

[zaptidizap → lonelappde]

Not if people could aford what they need.

[konschubert → lonelappde]

no.
